RADWAY EQUESTRIAN PONY CLUB CENTRE

Radway Riding School is a Pony Club Centre for children and adults under 25 years of age. The Pony Club aims to provide instruction in riding and horsemastership and to instil in Members the proper care of their animals.The Pony Club promotes the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty, thereby cultivating strength of character and self discipline.

The Pony Club Centre Membership Scheme is designed for children who do not own their own ponies. We have Pony Club seesions every week and always have activities in school holidays.

Summer Camp 2009 was a great success with a Grand Prix Dressage to Music display from Henry Boswell on his international Grand Prix dressage stallion Margue, that wowed members and instructors alike! The members worked really hard during camp week and gained both their Dressage Arena Badge and Plaiting Badge. Along with this all members took part in Dressage and Show Jumping competitions to make it a tiring but extremely rewarding time. The Pony Club is a great way to make new friends and have fun while you are learning how to look after and ride the ponies.

You will be able to learn about ponies and stable management, work towards Pony Club Achievement Badges, Efficiency Tests and Progressive Tests. You can also represent our Centre in competitions.
